This event is an expanded version of our Kids' Marafun Run begun in 1983, traditionally held on Sunday.
The Kids' Fun Run & Festival is now held on Saturday, and is dedicated to our community of active future Marathon runners, ages 2-12. The event will be fun-filled and include:

Festival entry: $5.00 ea. for all those age 2 and over. This includes parents, chaperones, siblings, other family members and friends who wish to attend. These entries may be purchased online during participant registration or at the Festival entrance on event day beginning at 8:30 am. A Festival entry ticket includes 5 scrip tickets good towards the purchase of food, beverages, and face painting.

Participants ages 2-12 will receive a special Portland Marathon backpack, a Portland Marathon t-shirt, a race bib, a finisher medal and other fun goodies.

Chaperones may accompany kids in each age category of the Fun Run Obstacle Course (one chaperone per child). The run will be held on the Lincoln HS Track and will be staffed by volunteers.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase at the event. Individual scrip tickets for food, beverages & face painting will be also sold at the entrance for $1.00 ea. A percentage of the proceeds from these purchases will benefit the Friends of Portland’s Mounted Patrol, an Official Charity of the Portland Marathon.

definitely not camera shy!
